The United Methodist Church (UMC) stops women church members from carryout Abortion.

During the 2016 quadrennial General Conference in Portland, the United Methodist Church (UMC) reversed its earlier stand which allowed female members of the church to have abortion.

Speaking on this, UMC Church Superintendent in Malawi, Rev. Daniel Mhone, confirmed the development saying that members of a church, they welcome the new move and that they stand and oppose all issues that do not promote and value life as God given gift which include abortion.
